Mick's Töp 15 Albums of 2020

With 2020 taking Game 1, we need to hone the resilience of MJ

Oh 2020, where do we even begin? You were a year that kept devouring more and more for itself, but if you were good for anything it was making obvious the value of music. In a year where the world is on pause, escapism becomes a hot commodity. Movies and video games will always offer that to an extent, but there's something completely unique to letting music take you on its own journey. From desolate forests to the American Wild West, my favorites from this year took me to some pretty sublime places. Hopefully, they can bring you a little comfort as well.

Check out my favorites from this abysmal year after the break!

Durf's Töp 15 Albums of 2020

Listen, we all just lived through the same year, so let's not bother rehashing it.  Instead, let's jump right into fifteen albums that were bright spots in 2020, like finding graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate bars right next to a big ol' dumpster fire!

Tom's Töp 15 Albums of 2020

In a year that has by all accounts been an absolute disaster, 2020 has some silver lining moments. Both of my boys started school (Pre-K and Kindergarten), the wife and I are still gainfully employed as teachers and just recently I am officially qualified as a Special Education teacher. I haven't seen a live show since March 5th but have managed to fill the void of camaraderie with a weekly Zoom call that I titled "Heavy Metal Happy Hour". If any of that crowd reads this just know that you have all helped me get through this year in particular, I can only hope for the same for the rest of you. There were also some totally kick ass albums released this year and considering the lack of live events to take some of that in, this needs to be celebrated. In many ways music was more important to me this year than in recent years all of my writing notwithstanding.
